Tyler Fitzgerald Fantasy Stats

The San Francisco Giants placed infielder Casey Schmitt (hand) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 27) on Monday with left-hand inflammation and recalled infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move, according to MLB.com's Justice delos Santos. Christian Koss is making another start at third base and is hitting leadoff, while Fitzgerald is at second base and batting seventh on Monday against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson. Schmitt is dealing with a bone bruise in his left hand/wrist and will head to the IL after missing each of the last four games. He could be able to return to the team for the start of the second half on July 18, but by that time, starting third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) is expected to be back from his IL stint. Schmitt will be a bench infielder when he's recovered from his hand injury.

The San Francisco Giants optioned middle infielder Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Shayna Rubin. Fitzgerald has found it harder to hit in 2025, slashing .230/.289/.320 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 17 runs and nine stolen bases in 57 games while also striking out 53 times in 200 plate appearances. He had gone hitless in his last six games with an RBI and four strikeouts in 14 trips to the plate. The 27-year-old has also hit just .127 (7-for-55) with three RBI, two steals, two runs, four walks and 19 strikeouts in 20 games in the month of June. As a result, Fitzgerald was seeing more time on the bench, so he'll now head to Sacrament to try and make some adjustments. At least until Matt Chapman (hand) returns from the injured list, the Giants will likely use a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at the keystone.

The San Francisco Giants announced on Friday that they activated infielder Tyler Fitzgerald (ribs) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Brett Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Fitzgerald is right back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the visiting Athletics and left-hander JP Sears, playing second base and batting ninth. The 27-year-old is making his return after landing on the IL earlier this month with a fractured left rib. In three rehab games with Sacramento, he went 3-for-10 at the plate with three RBI. Fitzgerald has hit .333 with a .666 OPS in just six career at-bats against Sears. Given his spot at the bottom of the batting order, he won't be a recommended DFS target, especially in his first game back. The third-year big-leaguer returns to a .284/.341/.432 slash line with two homers, seven RBI and five steals in 25 games played.

San Francisco Giants infielders Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) and Casey Schmitt (oblique) are both starting their minor-league rehab assignments with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, according to MLB.com's Justice delos Santos. Fitzgerald is at second base and is batting leadoff, while Schmitt is at first base and hitting second for the River Cats. Fitzgerald is recovering from a fractured left rib, but barring setbacks, both infielders could rejoin the major-league roster in San Francisco by later this week or the weekend. The 27-year-old Fitzgerald is more fantasy relevant, as he'll likely return to regular playing time at the keystone with the Giants when he returns from the injured list. He hit .280 in 96 games a year ago with 15 home runs and 17 stolen bases, making him attractive as a middle-infield option for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues.

The San Francisco Giants say that infielders Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) and Casey Schmitt (oblique) could start their minor-league rehab assignments on Tuesday. Fitzgerald is rehabbing from a fractured left rib that he suffered in the middle of April, while Schmitt is more than three weeks removed from a Grade 2 oblique strain. Depending on how both players fare while on their rehab assignments, they could rejoin the big-league roster by this weekend or early next week. Of the two, Fitzgerald is the more attractive fantasy asset as a regular at second base for the Giants when he's healthy. The 27-year-old surprised with intriguing power and speed in 96 games in 2024 and was hitting a solid .284/.341/.432 with two long balls, seven RBI, 14 runs scored and five steals in 25 games before his injury. Fantasy managers looking for middle-infield help in deep-mixed leagues might want to snag Fitzgerald now if he's available.

The San Francisco Giants announced on Thursday that they placed middle infielder Tyler Fitzgerald (rib) on the 10-day injured list with a left-rib fracture and recalled infielder Brett Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Fitzgerald missed some time last weekend due to a chest injury but was able to return to action for a two-game series in San Diego against the Padres on Tuesday and Wednesday. Apparently he's still hurt and will most likely miss more than 10 days with a rib fracture. The 27-year-old had been productive in his first 81 at-bats of the year, hitting .284 with two home runs, seven RBI, five steals and 14 runs scored. MLB.com's Justice delos Santos doesn't think it would be shocking to see Christian Koss get the majority of the starts at second base for the Giants while Fitzgerald is sidelined. Koss is 5-for-23 with no homers and an RBI in his first 12 big-league games this year.

San Francisco Giants infielder/outfielder Tyler Fitzgerald (chest) is returning to the starting nine on Tuesday when they face the San Diego Padres. The 27-year-old has been held out of the starting lineup for the past two games due to this minor injury. However, Fitzgerald will be making a quick return to the lineup. This evening, he will cover the keystone and bat in the nine-hole. Before his injury, Fitzgerald had not tallied a hit in each of his past two games. However, before this minor skid, the 27-year-old held an impressive .391/.429/.630 slash line with three doubles, two home runs, and seven RBI over his last 14 contests. Even though he has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign, he has generated a low .257 xwOBA, which is well below the average marks. He is best to fade this evening in DFS facing San Diego right-hander Nick Pivetta.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. The 27-year-old was scratched on Saturday with a chest contusion that he suffered making a diving play on a grounder the night before and will now miss his second straight contest. Fantasy managers should still consider the right-handed hitter day-to-day. Christian Koss will fill in at second base and bat ninth on Sunday. Koss went 1-for-3 with a run scored on Saturday against the Rangers and will face RHP Jack Leiter on Sunday.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald was scratched from Saturday's game against the Rangers with a chest contusion. The injury happened when attempting to make a diving play on a ground ball during Friday's contest, but he remained in the game, so consider him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old is off to a good start to the year, slashing .289/.341/.447 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), seven RBI, 13 runs scored, and five stolen bases, along with a .347 wOBA and 123 wRC+. Fantasy managers should continue to use the former fourth-round draft pick once he returns to the lineup; in the meantime, Christian Koss will fill in at second base and bat eighth on Saturday.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald got the hard parts done but could not hit for the cycle in Monday's 10-4 win over the Phillies. Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a three-run home run, and a strikeout. The 27-year-old took a second-inning Taijuan Walker cutter over the left-field wall for his first long ball of the season. Fitzgerald has continued to flash the power-speed combo that garnered fantasy attention in 2024, slashing .286/.333/.476 with four RBI and four stolen bases in 47 plate appearances. He has also cut down on the strikeouts, posting a 21.3% strikeout rate after striking out at a poor 31.7% clip in 2024. He has hit at the bottom of the lineup, but the Giants have gotten off to a hot start, helping boost Fitzgerald's fantasy appeal in at least all roto leagues.
